The US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah on November 27 halted 14 months of intense cross-border exchanges involving Iran's primary proxy, marking the dominant de-escalatory signal in recent weeks and tempering expectations for direct Iranian military action. Tehran has issued repeated threats of retaliation for Israel's October 26 airstrikes on Iranian military facilities but has not followed through beyond proxy activities, prioritizing restraint amid economic pressures and nuclear negotiations. Incoming President Trump's maximum-pressure policy toward Iran introduces escalation risks post-inauguration on January 20, yet absent fresh triggers like major Israeli strikes or diplomatic breakdowns, the March 31 deadline faces high barriers including winter logistics and mutual deterrence.

For the purposes of this market, a qualifying "strike" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones or missiles (including cruise or ballistic missiles) launched by Iranian military forces that impact a listed country's ground territory or any official embassy or consulate of that country (e.g., if a weapons depot on a listed country soil is hit by an Iranian missile, this market will resolve to "Yes").
Missiles or drones which are intercepted and surface-to-air missile strikes will not be sufficient for a "Yes" resolution regardless of whether they land on a listed country's territory or cause damage.
Strikes within the West Bank or the Gaza Strip, will be counted as Israel.
Only military actions by Iranian forces explicitly claimed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, or confirmed to have originated from Iranian territory, will count toward the resolution of this market. Attacks by proxy forces (i.e. Hezbollah, Houthis, etc.) will not count toward the resolution of this market.
Actions such as artillery fire, small arms fire, FPV or ATGM strikes directly, ground incursions, naval shelling, cyberattacks, or other operations conducted by US or Israeli ground operatives will not qualify.
The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
If the date/time of a strike cannot be confirmed by a consensus of credible reporting by the end of the third calendar date after this market's end date, it will resolve to "No" regardless of whether a strike was later confirmed to have taken place.
